Overview
Convenient EV Charging At Home
Charging your electric vehicle at home gives you a simple way to start each day with the car ready to use, without relying on public charging for your normal routine.
A proper installation needs to take the property, existing electrical system and proposed charger position into account before work begins.
We assess what is required, explain the installation clearly and provide pricing based on the work involved.
Once fitted, the charger and associated electrical work are tested so you can use your new home charging point with confidence.

What To Avoid
Mistakes We Help You Avoid
A charger needs to be planned as part of the electrical installation, not treated as a simple appliance attached to the wall.
Choosing The Position Too Late
Thinking about the charger location before installation helps avoid awkward cable routes and unnecessary additional work.
Ignoring The Existing Electrics
The electrical system needs to be considered as part of the installation so the charger is connected appropriately.
Poor Cable Routing
Untidy or poorly planned routes can affect the finished appearance. We plan how the installation will run before work begins.
Skipping Proper Testing
The electrical work associated with an EV charger needs to be tested correctly once installed and relevant certification provided.
Peace Of Mind
Guarantees & Aftercare
Our electrical installation work is covered by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, giving you added reassurance once your charger has been fitted.
We complete the appropriate electrical testing and provide the relevant certification for the installation before the job is signed off.
